It’s quite special that Premios Juventud is celebrating its 20 year anniversary at the iconic Coliseo José Miguel Agrelot de San Juan in Puerto Rico, a right-of-passage venue for Latin pop stardom and the birthplace of reggaeton. And no perfect reggaetón royal to open up the ceremony than the Big Boss, Daddy Yankee. But it’s even more memorable that the award ceremony is honoring a formative kind of group of el género, los duos.

Opening up with the dance floor banger, “Ven Báilalo” by Angel & Khriz, reggaeton duos presumed to dominate the stage back to back. R.K.M & Ken-Y followed up singing their classic “Down”; and Zion & Lennox piggybacked with “Yo Voy” and Alexis & Fido” with “El Tiburón”.
The later half of their segment saw more reggaeatón fixtures, with some showcasing their solo side to maximum effects. Wisin (who started performing with Yandel two decades) began to wail out “Saoco” while De La Ghetto (who also began with Arcángel) also shouted out some bars, thus further invigorated the scene.
These OGs testified their global appeal as reggaeton trailblazers, who’ve inspired legions of artists while solidifying their status as reggaetón royalty.
